REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2021
The trustees present their report with the financial statements of the charity for the year ended 31 January 2021. The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
The aims of the charity are:
-
To relieve the distress and suffering of ill, injured, orphaned, unwanted or confiscated wild and exotic creatures of all kinds and to provide and maintain rescue facilities for the reception, care and treatment of such animals.
-
To provide assistance, advice and education to the public in the subject of the care and protection of wild animals and their natural habitat.
Significant activities
We rescue and rehabilitate exotic animals (as well as some domestic species). We also educate and support exotic animal keepers. We provide educational encounters for schools, universities and veterinary professionals and we provide pets as therapy for a wide variety of establishments.
Public benefit
The Trustees have referred to the guidelines contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing their aims and objectives and in planning the future activities. In particular the Trustees consider how planned activity will contribute to the aims and objectives they have set. The achievements and performance of the charity are shown in this report and the public are the direct beneficiary of those activities. As stated in the objects and activities the primary objects of the charity are to relieve suffering of wild and exotic animals and provide educational and therapeutic opportunities for a range of beneficiaries.
Volunteers
The charity is grateful for the services of many unpaid volunteers who give their time to care for the animals and participate in educational and therapy visits.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Financial position
As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, we haven't been able to undertake educational encounters. This has reduced our income over the period. We hope and expect to be able to restart the visits as soon as possible. We continue to rescue and care for the animals that need our assistance.
Our financial position has deteriorated to the point that our funds are in deficit. We are extremely grateful to our suppliers of animal feed, veterinary supplies and materials for the upkeep of the animal enclosures, without whose understanding we would be unable to continue our work.
STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT
Governing document
The charity is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed according to its Constitution dated 13 March 2015. It received registered charity status on 9 November 2015.
